I've recently set up a new OpenSuse11.1 server. I need a simple smtp request - mail out system errors to the sysadmin as/when necessary. I've configured postfix but no matter what I try I keep getting the following errors: (I've tried other email address - not just hotmail.com - with the same error result!!)

search local.com nameserver 202.156.1.58 nameserver 218.186.1.38 nameserver 202.156.1.38
What is the output of "host -t mx hotmail.com"? In nsswitch.conf, is "dns" listed on the hosts line?
And are you sure that you're allowed to use these name servers? Please try dig @202.156.1.58 lists.opensuse.org If you only get output lines starting with ";" signs these name servers are not allowing access from your ISP. Try to use the nameservers used by your router or gateway or ask your ISP. My ISP sent me a letter including the credentials and all the settings including the name servers to use.
